| Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| Fixes since v1.8.1.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be |
| applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the |
| exclude mechanism does. The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had |
| performance degradations. |
| |
| * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with |
| older versions of bash by using a newer array notation. |
| |
| * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was |
| affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH. |
| |
| * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy |
| versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which |
| unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient |
| distros. |
| |
| * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from |
| /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug |
| lost the "user@" part. |
| |
| * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch, |
| when it is run in a locale outside C (or en). |
| |
| * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while |
| being on a detached HEAD, errored out. |
| |
| * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch. |
| |
| * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output, |
| killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history. |
| |
| * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions |
| of Git. |
| |
| * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule |
| has been broken since v1.7.12. |
| |
| * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch |
| dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message. |
| |
| Also contains various documentation fixes. |
